The Benefits of Collagen

Here's the news - no matter what type of skin you have, its made up of 70% collagen protein which accounts for 90% of what connective tissue and the dermis are made of. As we age, we produce less collagen causing the skin to be less plump. 

You can increase the volume of collagen for stronger and healthier skin without injectables. Of course, some products are better than others. You need a gel that is pure extracted, non-hydrolyzed and acid soluble.

Skin treated with a good collagen gel can retain up to 8 times more water in the dermal layer increasing moisture retention and improving skin hydration. 

Using a good collagen gel can:
  • Fortify the skin's foundation improving skin suppleness and density and delay the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
  • Accelerate skin recovery and healing from microdermabrasion, laser treatments and peels.
Collagen gel can really help getting you on the road to healthier skin.
